Phoenix police arrested a man they say attempted to steal money and drugs, shot someone, fled in a stolen car and caused a crash Sunday morning — just days after being released from jail following a separate drug-related incident.

Robert Allen Gabbert, 27, tried to rob a man and woman he knew about 7:30 a.m. Sunday, according to Sgt. Jonathan Howard, a Phoenix police spokesman.

During the robbery attempt near 12th Street and Bell Road, Gabbert "fired several shots and shot the male victim before fleeing the area," Howard said. The unidentified man was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

An officer was searching the area for Gabbert when she saw two men arguing near Second Street and Bell Road, police said. Before she could get to them, Gabbert jumped into a car — which the other man said Gabbert had taken at gunpoint — and drove away, Howard said.

The officer tried to pull Gabbert over, but he kept driving until he crashed into another car at the intersection of Central Avenue and Bell Road, police said. Officers found a gun in the stolen car, Howard said.

Gabbert was expected to be booked into jail Sunday evening and could face charges of armed robbery, aggravated assault, theft of a motor vehicle and firing a gun within city limits, according to police.
